Pros of the Fraser SR 2
The
SR 2 has bearing and Aluminium handles. This makes it a good rope to be used with chalk for double unders. If you drop your jump rope often and it is likely that people will step on it, this is a good low-cost option that will take the beating.
Cons of the Fraser SR2
If you want to do trick jumps or you are more interested in the strength rather than conditioning benefits of jump rope training this might not be for you. In this case, you might want to get the
Rogue Pro Jump Rope or
heavy jump rope instead.
Alternatives to the SR2
Alternatives to the
SR2 jump rope can be
The
SR3 series jump rope is part of many rogue equipment packages and the best starter jump rope in terms of value for money when it comes to double unders. They are also a cost-efficient option to buy in bulk for your
affiliate gym.
The
Rogue Heavy Jump Rope is a good alternative if you are into martial arts training. The heavier rope spins slower and trains your muscles more effectively. It is also a good option for trick jumps a la Muhammad Ali.
The Porsche among the Rogue jump ropes is the
Rogue Pro Jump Rope. It combines the benefits of the
heavy jump ropes with the speed needed for double unders. Introduced at the 2016 CrossFit games it makes a good investment for committed individuals.
Summary of the SR2
The
Rogue SR2 Fraser edition is a good option if you prefer Aluminium without breaking the bank with a bit of style. I personally like the slogan “Hard work pays off” a lot. If you don’t like the color or handles you can also go for the
Bridges version of these.
